Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, A

1. to provide validation of certificate requests: A CA is responsible for verifying the identity of an entity before issuing a certificate. This includes verifying the entity's identity, such as by checking government-issued identification or business registration documents.

2. to issue a CA-signed Identity certificates: After validating the entity's identity, the CA issues the certificate, which is signed by the CA's private key. This certificate can be used to authenticate the identity of the entity, establish trust and secure communication.

I'm pretty confident the CA is responsible for generating the public-private key pairs for the certificates too. That's an important part of their duties.

I remember learning about this in class. The CA also needs to maintain a database of valid certificates and revoke them if necessary. That's two key roles, I believe.
